Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“When presented with the price list for cremation, I asked the director if there was a Ralphs nearby, so that I could find the most modestly priced receptacle for my fathers ashes. I then learned that Ralphs does not operate in Columbus. I was immediately bummed out but understood. I'm giving 5 stars, as my father did not come back to life after he was cremated, which I believe is the epitome of what a cremation service should be. (Seriously, they are great. My dad would of thought this was hilarious)”
— Chris Spears
“Was extremely impressed with Shaw-Davis. They were upfront about pricing and didn’t push for anything I didn’t want or need. They file all of my paperwork quickly and were very prompt when I called and asked for anything.”
— Nathan Breneman
“They are very helpful and caring. I started using them in 2017 for my husband's cremation. We recently used them in 2024 for my mother's cremation. My father is 92 and has requested that I use them for his funeral needs. They are the first choice for my family's funeral needs.”
